Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive, driving momentum of King of Sweden that sets a deceptive pace for the heartbreak to follow

The way the bassline in The Tower carries the melodic weight while the vocals reach a desperate, gravelly peak

The quiet, devastating vulnerability in the closing notes of The Garden Wheel as the synths finally fade to silence
